  • Patent number: 10509789
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for providing data experience(s) via disparate semantic annotations based on a respective user scenario. Semantic information for respective data types of data set(s) may be received. The data types may be annotated based on the semantic information to obtain respective data annotations. In response to receipt of a search query from a client, a search result that includes at least a portion of one or more data annotations is generated to be sent to the client. The search query may request performance of a search against the semantic information to obtain first semantic information associated with first data type(s) of the data types. The portion of the one or more data annotations may include the first semantic information. The first semantic information may describe operation(s) to be performed on data of at least one of the first data type(s).

  • Publication number: 20170249363
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for providing data experience(s) via disparate semantic annotations based on a respective user scenario. An annotation component can synthesize semantic information for respective data types of data set(s), associate the semantic information with the respective data types to obtain respective data annotations, and in response to receiving a query from a client, send at least a portion of the respective data annotations to the client. Further, a data aggregation component can aggregate the respective data annotations and at least a portion of the data set(s). Other embodiments relate to performing, via an application, operations utilizing a data type based on respective semantic annotations associated with the data type. Yet other embodiments relate to receiving external data annotation(s) and associating the external data annotation(s) with portion(s) of the respective data types to derive portion(s) of the respective semantic annotations.
